NEW 1-2 CHE (PL) – VOTING REPORT #4

Third game, third win. Sarri’s Blues break the curse at St James’ Park with a 1-2 win over a very defensive Newcastle team thanks to goals from Hazard on penalty and Alonso. But let’s see who the POTSFLIP voters decided to award their points to!

THE VOTING REPORT

ALEX GOLDBERG’s 10 points

Eden HAZARD — 4 points

Antonio RÜDIGER — 2 points

JORGINHO — 2 points

Marcos ALONSO — 1 point

César AZPILICUETA — 1 point

Comment: “Tough game to crack, but Hazard and Jorginho continually managed the game. Defense wasn’t tested much, but Rüdiger looked strong and Alonso continued looking clutch (even if it was an own goal).”

BATSFLIP’s 10 points

JORGINHO — 3 points

Eden HAZARD — 3 points

Antonio RÜDIGER — 1 point

Marcos ALONSO — 1 point

N’Golo KANTÉ — 1 point

Mateo KOVAČIĆ — 1 point

Comment: “Good, but tough game. Newcastle played to defend and injure while the referee could’ve worn a black and white kit from the start. Proud of our players who managed to get the first goal and then a second in a difficult situation. Sarri-ball’s lit.”

CHELSEA ACTIVITY’s 10 points

JORGINHO — 3 points

Eden HAZARD — 3 points

Antonio RÜDIGER — 2 points

Marcos ALONSO — 1 point

César AZPILICUETA — 1 point

Comment: “Jorginho controlled it; Hazard was hacked to death, but came up strong. Rüdiger and Azpilicueta both showed why they deserve to remain in our defense, and Alonso continues to come up big. We need a striker to suit this system, though – an Agüero type of striker.”

COBHAM BLUES’s 10 points

Eden HAZARD — 4 points

JORGINHO — 2 points

Marcos ALONSO — 2 points

N’Golo KANTÉ — 1 point

César AZPILICUETA — 1 point

Comment: “These are the types of matches Chelsea need to win to be successful this season – so in that sense it’s a great win. But still lots of work to do to better break down physical teams who play behind the ball.”

Eden HAZARD — 4 points

Antonio RÜDIGER — 2 points

Marcos ALONSO — 2 points

JORGINHO — 2 points
